Dividing the Soul Bones and Immortal Herbs

PS: The protagonist is about to embark on a journey.

Attached is a map of the Douluo Continent as imagined by the author, to help everyone understand. The map mainly marks the approximate locations of some important places.

If anyone has different opinions, I won't change it; we'll just stick with this picture. Hahaha...

Ten days later, Tang San and his group of six arrived at the edge of the Blue Silver Forest.

Looking at the dark green forest, the air is filled with the unique fragrance of Blue Silver Grass, which brings peace to the mind.

Tang San stood at the edge of the forest and took a deep breath.

He could feel his blood flowing faster, his heart beating slightly quicker, and the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline rejoicing within him, like a long-lost traveler finally returning home.

"Alright, that'll stop here for you."

Dugu Bo's voice carried a kind of concern unique to an elder.

Tang San turned around to face Dugu Bo and bowed slightly. "Thank you, Grandpa. You've had a long and tiring journey."

Dugu Bo waved his hand.

Dugu Yan stepped forward, took her grandfather's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, you should go back now. We'll take good care of ourselves."

Dugu Bo reached out and gently patted her head, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

Then he released Dugu Yan, soared into the air, and transformed into a streak of emerald light, flying towards Heaven Dou City.

In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the horizon.

"Let's go in," Tang San said.

The five turned and entered the Blue Silver Forest.

The air inside the forest is damp and fresh, filled with the scent of grass, trees, and earth, mixed with the fragrance of wildflowers, giving one a sense of tranquility and peace.

Tang San walked at the front, and the five of them walked for most of the day, venturing deep into the heart of the forest.

The surrounding Blue Silver Grass grew denser and denser, covering the ground like a verdant ocean.

Tang San stopped beside a waterfall.

The waterfall is about twenty or thirty meters high, with rushing water cascading down from the top of the cliff and carving out a clear pool at the bottom. This was the perfect spot for him to practice his hammer techniques.

The pool was surrounded by a flat open space, where the Blue Silver Grass grew very lushly, exuding a strong sense of life.

"This is it." Tang San turned around to face the four girls, a smile curving his lips. "We'll stay here."

Dugu Yan nodded, her gaze sweeping over her surroundings.

The open space is large enough to build several wooden houses, and the pond can provide drinking water and washing water.

"Good place," Dugu Yan said. "I'll be in charge of cutting down the trees."

Xiao Wu raised her hand. "I'll take care of carrying it!"

Ye Lingling said softly, "I'll take care of tidying up."

Shui Bing'er glanced at the pool. "I'll be in charge of fetching water."

Tang San smiled, and the five people put their hands together, then separated and went about their own business.

Tang San was in charge of setting it up.

Blue Silver Grass flew out from his palm, transforming into strong vines that bound, secured, and connected the tree trunk.

The framework of the log cabin was quickly erected, and tree trunks, Entanglement with Blue Silver Grass, transformed into sturdy walls and a roof.

The five people worked together efficiently, with each task assigned to them.

In less than an hour, the five wooden houses were completed.

The log cabins are small, each only thirty or forty square meters, enough for one person to live in.

The wooden houses are arranged in an arc, facing the pool.

Tang San's wooden house was in the very center.

After everything was settled, Tang San called everyone to gather in his wooden hut.

Tang San took out the two Soul Bones he had obtained from the Soul Master Tournament from his Storage Soul Tool and placed them on a simple wooden table in front of him.

Soul Devouring Demon Spider Skull, 60,000 years old; Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull over 50,000 years.

Tang San picked up the Soul Devouring Demon Spider Skull and handed it to Dugu Yan: "Yan Yan, this is yours. The Soul Devouring Demon Spider Skull is a perfect match for your attributes."

"Thank you, Third Brother." Dugu Yan accepted the Soul Bone with delight, without standing on ceremony.

Tang San picked up the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, and turned to Shui Bing'er.

A look of shock and disbelief flashed in Shui Bing'er's icy blue eyes.

"Bing'er, I'm giving you this Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull."

Shui Bing'er was stunned.

She looked into Tang San's eyes, her lips trembling slightly. "Third Brother, this... this is too precious. I..."

Tang San shook his head, interrupting her. "You are my woman, that's enough. The Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull can greatly enhance your Spiritual Power, allowing you to fully control the power of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul."

He placed the Soul Bone into Shui Bing'er's hand, his gaze earnest and resolute. "Your Ice Phoenix is incredibly powerful, but you've always been unable to fully control it due to insufficient Spiritual Power. With this Soul Bone, you'll be able to unleash your full potential."

Shui Bing'er's eyes reddened. "But this Soul Bone is also very precious to you."

Tang San patted her head. "I will have many opportunities to obtain Soul Bones in the future. Believe me, what I want is for us to become stronger together, not just for me alone."

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Yes, Third Brother is right. We should trust Third Brother."

Shui Bing'er nodded and accepted the Soul Bone: "Thank you, Third Brother."

Tang San smiled, then took out two Immortal Herbs from his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Purse: the Aromatic Silk Beauty and the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.

He handed the Aromatic Silk Beauty to Ye Lingling: "Lingling, here you go. Now you can safely absorb this Immortal Herb."

Ye Lingling accepted the Aromatic Silk Beauty with both hands and nodded heavily.

Tang San turned his gaze to Shui Bing'er and said, "Bing'er, as I told you last time, the reason why Yan Yan Xiao Wu, and I were able to cultivate so quickly wasn't entirely due to hard work. The main reason is that we all consumed Immortal Herbs."

He handed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone to Shui Bing'er and continued, "This Immortal Herb is called Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. Consuming it can nourish your tendons and bones, improve your physique, and strengthen your Soul Power foundation, thus enhancing your cultivation aptitude. Moreover, ice belongs to water, and its water attribute is naturally compatible with your Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, increasing your affinity with the ice attribute. It can even further purify the bloodline purity of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, enhancing the sustainability and control of ice-type Soul Skills."

Shui Bing'er took the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone with both hands, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Tang San.

Surprises kept coming one after another, leaving Shui Bing'er completely overwhelmed.

Tang San kissed her forehead, gently stroking her cheek with his thumb, and said tenderly, "Don't cry. Since you've come with me, I want to give you the best."

Then he continued, "Alright, go back to your rooms and consume the Immortal Herbs as I instructed to, and absorb the Soul Bones."

Tang San seemed to remember something else and said to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, after you finish consuming the Immortal Herb, absorb that Illusion Realm Wisdom Skull from last time as well."

Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Shui Bing'er nodded emphatically, their lips curving into happy smiles.

At this moment, only Xiao Wu was unassigned.

Dugu Yan was the first to react, asking in confusion, "Third Brother, what about Xiao Wu's?"

They were unaware that Xiao Wu was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.

Tang San and Xiao Wu both knew that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transforming into a human was essentially a complete Soul Bone form, and did not need to absorb any additional external Soul Bones.

Even if forcibly absorbed, the benefits of Soul Bone to a transformed Soul Beast are far less than those to a human Soul Master. Not only will it waste a high-quality Soul Bone, but there is also a high probability that the absorption will fail due to energy conflicts.

Unless it's Soul Bone that's particularly suited to a certain Soul Skill, it's best not to absorb Soul Bones. Even if you want to absorb one, wait until you break through to Soul Saint and need to hunt for Soul Rings yourself.

For example, the Spirit Condensation Charm Skull of the 60,000-year-old Three-Eyed Demon Fox in the original work, can greatly enhance her second Soul Skill, Charm.

But Tang San and Xiao Wu were not ready to tell everyone the truth.

Tang San smiled, reached out and ruffled Xiao Wu's hair, saying affectionately, "Xiao Wu has already absorbed the Immortal Herb. As for the Soul Bone, I haven't found a suitable one yet. I'll continue searching, and give it to her when I find a suitable one."

Dugu Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The three girls returned to their respective wooden houses and began absorbing the Soul Bones and Immortal Herbs.

Only Tang San and Xiao Wu remained in the wooden house.
